MIX Chapter 6 Released!

Took a bit longer again, but now that some of us are back to college and work schedule, stuff will happen more often, sorry! Anyhow, really nice chapter this time around, and Adachi doing something which didn’t even cross my mind, haha! You can find the chapter on the usual spots, or just head to the ‘Downloads’ sidebar and pick your preferred method of reading it. Now, while everyone enjoys their good monthly Adachi, it’s time to go and check out the new JoJo! Cheers, fellows, and until next month!

I’ve yet to talk to my buddy, but to be quite honest, I don’t think we’ll be doing the actual tanks. While I don’t mind being a bit sloppy with the quality of cleaning/leveling on these magazine raws, I find myself really unexperienced to do a ‘definite’ version of it, to the point where I’d rather let any other group who feels up to the task do their version. Of course, in terms of translation, we don’t really mind if someone wants to use ours on their tank version.

Haha, I hope people don’t end up being disappointed by what it is, because it’s not exactly MAJOR, but yeah… he’s started setting up something that never really crossed my mind as a possibility, despite being somewhat obvious that it could happen, why not, haha.

Being quite honest, it’s just this month’s raw was absolutely terrible, and I actually had to ‘clean it’, haha. Usually the stuff that pops up is already tinkered by the uploader, so I really haven’t bothered much with it. This month though it was all grey-ish and with ripped off page marks on the side, so I had to put in the extra effort. I was actually a bit wary of how it was going to turn out, since I’m not too confident on messing with the levels, but good to hear it’s okay. I guess I can start making small adjustements from now on, if it helped improve the quality!

Hey, here’s a really radical idea: if you don’t like it, don’t read it. Go back to your Bleach and Naruto and other repetitive drivel. We’ll be over here appreciating the work of a great mangaka. Call me when you get some taste.

Thanks for your great work; highly appreciated. Alas, I’m not sure which development you had in mind: I thought there were several remarkable allusions in this chapter, from the future of the twins as a battery to the dad’s past and his recollection of the deceased father, or even Sou’s position. It feels like this story could go many different ways. (I can’t wait.)

Yeah, you have a point there, although I meant the whole “Sou might be a pitcher bit”. I was getting so used to the idea that they’d form a great battery and that Sou was content being a catcher that it really surprised me! Especially since we’ve had that conversation a few chapters ago where Sou talked about how he HAD to catch Touma’s pitches and stuff, hah.

Anyway, the deceased father part as well as the other dad’s memories of whoever was the regular pitcher for Meisei at his time were certainly very interesting, too! If I remember correctly from Touch, there wasn’t really anyone who could be called ‘reserve pitcher’ on Tatsuya’s team, so he might’ve been from a bit later?

First, thanks for the great work!! Regarding a backup pitcher to Tatsuya in Touch: He did briefly have a reserve pitcher who wore the number 10, Takeshi Yoshida, who initially looked up to him and then ended up considering him a rival. There was also a kind of nerdy first year who joined up during Tatsuya’s third year and fell in love with Yuuka. Eiijiro Kashiwaba had this first year pitch for Tatsuya in a city tournament game as a way to try to have Meisei get knocked out.

I don’t think either one of those characters is necessarily Touma’s father, but it’s worth noting, I suppose. Also, is it possible that Sou’s father is Tatsuya or something? I keep waiting for there to be some kind of connection, being as that it’s a sequel to Touch, but maybe Adachi Sensei has something else in mind. Anyway, thanks!

Oh, I remember Yoshida, although I don’t think he fits the bill for the mystery man we’re looking for, haha. As for the other guy, whose name I’ve forgotten for some reason, he looked kinda nerdy and had glasses and what not, plus, I’d rather think he and Yuka got along somehow in the end, hahaha.

As for Sou’s father, we’re told it’s that other dead guy, but after how Touma’s dad looked at him, maybe there’s more to it. The thing with Adachi is that since every other character looks familiar, it’s nigh impossible to guess who’s who just by appearance, haha.

Oh well, I’m sure we’ll get some answers somewhat soon-ish, and I trust Adachi enough after all these years. Surely he’s going to impress!

Any chance you guys might pick up Over Fence? The first chapter was released by both I Eat Manga and Immortal Abyss, but it’s been more then a year and a half and neither of them have released the second chapter.

Yap, like Kate said, Over Fence’s 2nd chapter never came out. It was announced as an irregular series, and so far it’s doing justice to that, haha. If it ever comes out, though, who knows? Since it’s a once in a while job, we might do it.

I looked, but was unable to find any other information on the status of the series. I figured that steady (if irregular) releases were being made, but that it just wasn’t being promoted. Even if he was only going to release a chapter every once in a while it’s odd that he would release a single chapter and then do nothing with it for almost two years.

Anyway, in the meantime I (as I’m sure as everyone else here) will be eagerly awaiting the next chapter of MIX. Thanks for your hard work.

The only Yuku Toshi Kuru Toshi I’ve been able to find is a non-adachi non-sports manga and it’s a Yaoi Gintama dojinshi. With all due respect, I can’t understand why you would request this. I don’t have anything against yaoi (though I don’t read it) Tenko is an Adachi related group. I requested Over Fense because it’s an Adachi manga, the other manga I requested in the other thread are sports manga (though they were turned down). If I’m not completely off base then your request is kind of out of nowhere. Just curious as to your reasoning for your request. *end rant*

Also, Chapter 7 came out just as I was writing this. Thank you for that.
